Hello everyone
I've recently got the phone (p10 lite) and, while trying and failing to update it (runs EMUI 5 and Android 7 now), after extensive talks with various Huawei representatives, I found out it's branded by Vodafone Italy, and apparently made for the Italian market. The device, however, was bought new from a store in Greece, so you can imagine my confusion.
Any way, long story short, I can get no updates, I'm stuck on the WAS-LX1AC432B123 build (it's the single siim 4gb variant). Huawei can't help me and neither can I get an Italian Vodafone sim card just to get an update (if they've even rolled out any). Huawei support even suggested I use a Vodafone sim (I did, to no avail) just in case this was the problem (it was not).
I've searched extensively for a solution but hit a wall everytime. Firmware finder does nothing as well, I'm constantly getting error messages for package errors and "download failed". I'm assuming it's because of the locked bootloader. The thing is, I can't unlock the bootloader without the code and Huawei straight up refuses to give out the code.
Now I know there are paid services like DC unlocker but I'm not sure if they're legitimate and safe and I'd obviously prefer not paying.
So, question: Is there any alternative to paid services? Is the unlock code obtainable some other way? Perhaps somewhere within the phone's files? And if so, how would one access it?
If not, is there another way I can de-brand the device? Maybe via some de-bricking method?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
